RP-SMA Plug for RG-178/196 — 12.4 GHz, Full Assembly Kit
The Amphenol RF 132193RP is an RP-SMA plug with a female socket centre contact, designed for RG-178, 178A, 178B, 196, 196A, and M17/93-RG178 cable. It ships as a complete assembly kit: one connector body, one contact, one ferrule, one heat shrink tube, two insulators, one coupling nut, and one rear body — everything needed to terminate a cable in one order line.
Cable Group and Termination — Solder Centre, Crimp Shield
The supported cable group — RG-178, 178A, 178B, 196, 196A, M17/93-RG178 — is a thin, double-shielded 50 Ohm coax with a solid or stranded centre conductor. The kit includes the correct ferrule and heat shrink for this cable diameter, so no separate accessory ordering is needed. The threaded coupling nut provides vibration-resistant retention, and the weatherproof ingress protection suits outdoor antenna feeds or exposed enclosures.
Gold-on-gold mating surfaces and 500 mating cycles support field-service reconnect duty without fretting corrosion. The PTFE dielectric maintains stable impedance across the full temperature band.
